Somethings happen as a direct result of actions.
You know – cause and effect.
Like drinking too much and getting drunk.
Like spending too much time in the sun (if you’re a pale face like me) and ending up looking like a lobster.
And of course eating too much and being fat.
It’s a direct cause and effect relationship for all but the terminally stupid.
If you’re a member of the terminally stupid club it’s not cause of too much eating of course it’s because of a low metabolism or some other hereditary reason that the owner of the flab has now direct control over.
Yeah right.
Last night I was standing in a supermarket queue behind a mother and daughter both of whom had packed into the cream cakes way too much. They were discussing weight and how unlucky they’d been in life cause they’d been given the low metabolism gene rather than the high one and that’s why they put the weight on. “Thin people are so lucky”.
You may be wondering why I’m talking about this… well, because on the way out I passed dumb and dumber sat in their car. They were sat there stuffing their faces with yet more food…. they couldn’t even wait to get home before packing in more calories.
You can’t ignore cause and effect.
Well I guess you can ignore the cause but what you can’t escape the effect… that my friend is all yours.
And it’s as relevant in your personal life as it is in business.
And while we’re talking of cause and effect, if you let your consultants run off with your data the effect on your recruitment ain’t gonna be pretty.
So if they have their business email on their phones and tablets you need to protect yourself.
And you’ll be able to do that by ring fencing your data… a big tall fence with barbed wire on the top. Your recruitment consultants will only be able to get past the fence and get to the data with your permission.
When you withdraw your permission their access will go… and the data will dissappear of their phone or tablet.
Now that’s what I call being in control.
